Homemade Protein Bar Recipes w/ Simply B Natural Whey

Feel duped by "health bars" in the store? Some are packed with chemicals, fillers, dyes and just plain "blah" processed ingredients. Be in control of what you choose to snack on. Try one of these or alter the recipes to fit your tastes/goals. 

No-bake protein oat bars

Simply Good!

2 cups dry oats
4 scoops Simply B Natural whey protein powder (vanilla or chocolate works best)
½ cup natural peanut butter
1/3 cup of water or milk

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, and then press into a 9-by-9 inch pan lined with wax paper. Freeze for 40 minutes and cut into bars.

Since these bars have a good amount of healthy fat, they are best used when you’re not preparing to exercise or recovering from your session, when fat should be avoided.

Blueberry and Banana Bars -Oh My! 

1 cup raw oatmeal

5 scoops of Simply B Natural whey protein powder, vanilla or cinnabun
½ cup non-fat dry milk powder
¼ cup fat-free cream cheese
2 egg whites (can substitute 1 tbsp chia in soaked in 6 Tbsp water for each egg white)
1½ bananas, mashed
1 cup blueberries
¼ cup water
3 tsp. coconut or olive oil

Directions:

First, preheat the oven to 325F. Combine oatmeal, protein powder and dry milk. Next, in another bowl, combine the cream cheese, egg whites, bananas, blueberries, water, and oil; beat this with an electric mixer until well blended. Combine all ingredients and mix well. Pour this batter into a sprayed 9-by-9 inch square pan and bake for 30 to 35 minutes.

½ cup oatmeal
½ cup gluten free baking flour or oat bran
6 scoops Simply B Natural whey protein powder, vanilla
1 cup non-fat dry milk
2 tbsp flaxseeds or Chia seeds
2 tbsp sunflower seeds
¼ cup mixed nuts
¼ cup dried fruit
1/3 cup natural peanut butter
2 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup water

Combine oatmeal, oat bran or GF baking flour, protein powder, dry milk powder, seeds, nuts, and dried fruit in a bowl. Stir in natural peanut butter, vanilla and water until moist and spread with a wooden spoon or spatula into a non-stick baking dish. Place in the fridge for an hour until firm.

If you’d like to make this recipe more low-carb in nature, consider replacing the dried fruit with another type of nut or seed and replace the oat bran with more ground flaxseeds. This will increase the caloric value of the bars though, so be sure you keep that in mind when working them into your overall diet. Cut into small squares about 2 x 2 or 3x2
